One important thing to do from time to time (assuming you don't have an easily communicable disease) is to visit family members. You may be thinking, "but we live with our family -- why would we need to visit it?" (and yes, family takes the singular pronoun "it" in U.S. English; if you want to use the collective "them," you'll have to go over to the U.K.).
So what should a person do when visiting family members? Here are some suggestions that your father and I have to offer:
Number one: Take pictures. After all, you never know when you'll see these people again. Plus, holding a camera is a good way to get people to look at you.
Number two: Drink wine and wave your hands. What better way(s) to keep your blood flowing on a chilly winter night? (Bonus: Drink wine and wave near fire and you'll triple the warmth factor.)
Number three: Come with a date. After all, it's a family get-together and the pickings are by definition going to be pretty slim once you get there.Number four: Take care of your chores! Moms are great but they aren't super-humans, so they need a little help around the house (especially when guests start showing up with dates to drink all night). So be a good relative and check your to-do list before you get too comfy around the sofa.
